One of my favorite and often used utilities as been Robert Guy's "Ratwin - V1.1" which restricts the mouse from operating except in either the vertical or horizontal plane. It's great for keeping things straight when using the F4 key.Having migrated from Win98 to XP, I can't seem to get this utility to work under XP. Actually, Mr. Guy warns that this will probably be the case in his Readme.I've attempted, unsuccessfully, to email Mr. Guy both to thank him for this utility and to ask (please, please) if he would consider doing a version for XP.So two things: first, Mr. Guy, if you read this would you consider this request; second, has anyone succeeded in getting Ratwin to work with XP? If so, how.Many thanks,
Bob Barrows
